It really is simple like that and a lot of people are already doing it. That's why the masters programmes at my uni (KTH) are crammed with mostly asian (China, Pakistan, etc) foreign students every year, coming here for a free (as in beer) and decent education. It's a pretty sweet deal of course and has caused some public debate whether this is viable or not, since it's all tax payers money funding it. In one of my CS courses there was an african guy in his late 30's enrolled so I guess it's indeed possible to work something out.

Vietnam Imposes New Blogging Restrictions 206

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the people-never-learn dept.
GMAW is one of many to mention that the Vietnam government has approved a new set of regulations aimed at bloggers. The new restrictions ban bloggers from discussing certain subjects that the government deems sensitive or inappropriate. Not only are the topics limited, but bloggers are being directed to only write about issues that directly impact their personal lives. "The rules, which were approved Dec. 18, attempt to rein in Vietnam's booming blogosphere. It has become an alternative source of news for many in the communist country, where the media is state-controlled. The new rules require Internet companies that provide blogging platforms to report to the government every six months and provide information about bloggers on request."
